MORE WATER
ON THE BAR
Dredge Chinook Making Excel
lent Progrca in Deepening
Rjver Entrance.
WILL GIVE DESIRED DEPTH
Dpit Enforced Dlays Channel Hat
, Already Been Materially Batter
ed Other Maritina In

Notwithstanding that many peraous
believed tha dredg Chinook would be
unable to accomplish as much a tboae
enthusiastic ones who worked so hard
ta get her her believed, ah Is doing
great work at the mouth of the river,
where the bar la rapidly being deep
ened. Indeed, from the teaulta thus!
tar attained, there can be no question
that th Chinook will give U desired
depth at th rivers mouth, ana that,
too. within a comparatively short time.
Thus far th dredge has been unable
to remain steadily at work, because of
necessary repairs to her machinery and 1
the occasional severity of the weather.
However, when ah has been operated
great loaJs of sand were removed from
the shoalest places on the bar and
taken far out to sea and dumped. Last
week when a large Vessel went to sea
at half tide there was SS feet of water
on th bar.
. The opinion now prevails along th
waterfront that tha Chinook will easily
provide the requisite 40-feet depth at
the bar, and that extension of the jetty
will cinch the work done by her. Ex
tension of th Jetty in accordance with
the plans of the government engineers
will oftord full protection to the river
channel from th southwest currents
that have banked up the sand at the
bar, and perpetuate the work of the
dredge. Many persons who watch
closely th work of harbor Improve
ment believed the dredge would not
accomplish as much as was claimed for
hor, but this sentiment is rapidly dy
ing out and the Chinook is makng a
host of admrers for herself.
On Saturday the dredge worked for
a few hours and removed S50 tons from
a shoal spot on the bar. On Sunday
it was the intention of the officers to
operate her, but the weather was rath
er stormy and the attempt was not
made. Yesterday the Chinook made one
trip to sea, but ceased work on account
of he h-avy waves that were running .
All things considered, the big vessel
- is doing great work, and It is notice
able that her officers and men are
evincing much pride In the dredging
operations.
s COLUMBIA WILL BURN OIL.
San Francisco-Astoria Liner to Bs
Laid Up For Repair.
The steamship Columbia departed
Sunday morning for .San Francisco,
yrtfh a full cargo of freight and a fair
passenger list. She took on at Astoria
a large quantity of snooks, t j liters and
other freight.
The Columbia will not usaln make
the coast trip for some time, because
of extensive alterations that are con
templated. On her arrival at San
Franclst'O she will be l;ild tiji for re
pairs and during her stay at the ship
yard she will be provldel with oil
burners. The O. B. N. to., follow
ing the lead of the Southern Pacific,
Is now using oil quite extensively, and
fuel accounts are jelng reduced mater
ially In consequence. Whether or not
' oil burners will be provided for the
Elder has not been announced, but it
Is likely she will be laid up when the
Columbia again goes Into ommisslon.
While the Columbia is undergoing
lepars the steamship Oregon, which has
lately been plying in the toast trade,
will take her place. The Oregon form
erly hod the San Francisc-Astorla run
and was n familiar figure to Astorlans.
TILLAMOOK'S HARD LUCK.
Poor Harbor Facilities Killing th Lum
bar Trsffio Thar.
The people of Tillamook county are
having considerable trouble because of
the shallow bar which cuU oft their
harbor from the ocean, and will make
a vigorous effort to secure an appropri
ation for Qit Improvement of the en
trance. The matter has already been
l,ild before the Oregon delegation at
Washington, and senators and cong
ressmen will strive to secure a liberal
sum for deepening the bar.
During the past year almost 6,000,000
feet of lumber was shipped from Tllla
mook mid Nehalem di-splt th bar.
Tha Truck mill and Tillamook Lum
bar Company's plant hav Wit forced
to close down at Intervals during tha
year because of tha Inability if small
schooners to get Into tha harbor at Til
lamook. and Nehalem. and tha Kreba
and Whrfer nillla hava been Idle moat
of th time for a almllur reuaon. Were
the bar deepened proporly, the mill
vt Tillamook county could be ojierated
the year around, and that county
would doubtleaa export JO.000,000 or 40,.
000,000 feet of lumber.
